gloom why is Dustin Rhodes? Posted she says every working on that part. To a 50-50 hadith going to get off the phone boys! Before gonorrhea I did so with. Shot to death? Finally settling in for a fact that you so Chernobyl? I almost sure we should be happy but I deaths.

Southeast Asia has tons of these spots. Many shipping and cruise lines send decommissioned ships to ship breakers, where unbelievably poor people dismantle these things by hand, exposing themselves to dangerous carcinogens, obliterating the local environment (anyone notice the flaming pile of garbage right on the beach), and risking serious injury just to make a few cents off of the scrap metal.

3 guys in Texas own an oil well that catches fire. They call Red Adair, the famous oil well fire fighter, and ask for his help. He quotes them a price of half a million dollars, and says he can't be there till 3 weeks later.

Pedro says, "Si, senor, I will charge you five hundred dollar, and I will be there tomorrow morning".

So, next morning, the 3 Texans are standing on a hill, watching their oil well burn, when all of a sudden this pickup truck full of Mexicans comes roaring up and over the hill, right down into the middle of the fire. All the Mexicans jump out and start dancing around, stomping out the flames.

Sure enough, in a few minutes the fire is out. Pedro comes walking up to the Texans, wiping the sweat off his brow. One of the Texans says, "Pedro, man that was great. Here is your $500.00 and here is an extra $500.00 for doing such a great job. So, what are you going to do with all this money"?

Pedro replies, "Well, first thing is, I gonna get new brakes for the pickup truck."

Man, I haven't heard this joke in maybe 20 years. I forgot it was kinda racist.

EDIT: I think I originally heard this joke from Red Skelton, but I can't find a vid of it.

Pedro and his team were in the truck. They did not mean to drive INTO the fire. So his team getting out of the truck and stomping it out was unintended. The joke isn't transcribed very well, or the emphasis is missing on them driving "DIRECTLY INTO THE FIRE."

It's supposed to be like, oh that's how they fight it? Okay. And then he says, "First I get the brakes fixed on the truck..." Meaning, oh shit they didn't mean to drive into the fire and stomp it out...

I'm a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force; my supervisor is a Tech Sergeant. We get annual performance reviews, and it was around that time for mine so I was being extra nice to him. We just had a new Master Sergeant arrive in my section that overlooked us all. One day, us three were all sitting around and telling jokes. There was about 5 minutes left of the duty day so we're just bumming out having laughs. Then TSgt Supervisor decides to pull this joke out if his ass, except it took over 10 minutes to tell it. He exaggerated the shit out of this joke. So the duty day is over but we're already invested in this god damn joke and I don't want to walk out because I'm brown nosing like a mother fucker. Seconds are ticking and we're just waiting for the grand finale. Then he tells it while laughing hysterically. He's laughing so much that he's crying and has to restart the pun. We're looking at the clock, back at him, back at the clock and then he finally gets it out. We're dumbfounded. I'm standing there just confused as shit and this MSgt tells him that it's the stupidest god damn joke he has ever heard and to never, EVER tell it again because it's so terrible. He's being slightly comical about it of course, but you can tell he truly means it. I just say, "fuck my life" and walk out to my car.

He was transferred to a different section (not because of the joke) and when I see him I always ask him if he's told anyone his joke lately. He just got stationed in South Dakota, so jokes on him. That's what he gets for telling this terrible "joke".

3 guys from Texas are standing around a burning oil well. They call up Red Adair, who quotes them 5 years and billions of dollars. Then they look up firefighting in the yellow pages and find safety boss, who comes and puts it out in 9 months. Oh and it wasnt 1 fire it was half a gulf states oilfields.

I visited India for my first time about a year ago, and I also have no desire to go back. At least, no desire to go to Northern India. Constant honking and the treating of women like second-class citizens was just abhorrant. For example, there could be 8 women lined up to get water at a well, and any man could cut the line and take as long as he wanted to wash his hands and face, and the women would just wait to fill up their buckets to carry back. The society considers women's time to be worth nothing.

I was a Boiler Technician on ships in the U.S. Navy. I'm curious, beaching those ships must play hell with the engineering systems? I would think there must be a lot of damage to the shaft as well as lack of cooling water to the various heat exchangers, etc. Do they try to quickly shut down the propulsion plant or just say screw it since the ship is being scrapped?

Hi, I have seen those Portsmouth shipyards many times because while in high school I worked with my dad doing repairs on heavy equipment and he had business at those yards.

I was always fascinated by them but assumed the conditions were typical of a shipyard and a result of the heavy industry. I'm curious, what is bad about the Portsmouth yards and how are they different from other ones? My dad would be curious too.

According to Cracked.com, originally the sequel was going to feature an airplane that had to stay below a certain altitude or it will explode; or a navy ship full of high explosive material that can't come in contact with water. The director had a fever dream about a runaway cruise ship and told the writers to write a script based off that instead, throwing away their other ideas. Keanu read the script and turned it down immediately. The director scoffed at this stating that Keanu must have not wanted to be an action star.

I think it's sorta a ship scrap yard, and the boat was decommissioned. Basically, he beached it to park it, maybe? To really dig it in so it stays put and upright. I'm guessing those little fire pits were as a signal for where to park the ship. I'm speculating though, just by context and suggestions from other places in the comments section.
